BLOG TOUR: Don’t You Forget About Me by Mhairi McFarlane @MhairiMcF @williammorrowbooks @TLCbooktours #bookreview #dontyouforgetaboutme
When I read Mhairi McFarlane’s latest novel Don’t You Forget About Me, I expected to enjoy it. The premise sounded adorably like just the sort of contemporary rom-com I love. The book is that but it’s honestly so much more. One of the best books I have read this year! When I started looking into whether I wanted to read it, I found hundreds of reviewers who are huge fans of McFarlane and her previous books. Now I already went back and purchased two others. I can’t believe I hadn’t read anything by her before!
About the Book
Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to rise again…
If there’s one thing worse than being fired from the grottiest restaurant in town, it’s coming home early to find your boyfriend in bed with someone else.
Reeling from the indignity of a double dumping on the same day, Georgina snatches at the next job that she’s offered – barmaid in a newly opened pub, which just so happens to run by the boy she fell in love with at school: Lucas McCarthy. And whereas Georgina (voted Most Likely to Succeed in her school yearbook) has done nothing but dead-end jobs in the last twelve years, Lucas has not only grown into a broodingly handsome man, but also has turned into an actual grown-up with a business and a dog along the way.
Meeting Lucas again not only throws Georgina’s rackety present into sharp relief, but also brings a dark secret from her past bubbling to the surface. Only she knows the truth about what happened on the last day of school, and why she’s allowed it to chase her all these years…
Reflection
I loved this book so much! From the very first chapter it immediately clicked with me. I flew through it, and I already know it’s a book I’ll revisit in a year or two and read again. It’s a story with so many layers, I know that I will discover new things to connect with on a re-read. That’s how wonderful it is!
McFarlane has a boldness to her narrative and writing that adds so much depth to her characters and their story. She goes to deep, soul-testing places with her character Georgina. And yet, I don’t mean this review to sound heavy, there’s so much humor and lightness in the book as well that I’m struggling to describe how a book is both laugh-out-loud and deeply emotional at the same time.
I once read about a comparison of heartbreak to a romantic resume, every experience making us more prepared for the next one. This is something I’ve only come to really understand as I’ve gone through a few relationships, had my heart broken, loved so deeply that I sacrificed my own happiness at times, and still look back after healing and marvel at the good times and how much stronger I am. Not because it won’t happen again, but because I know I can survive it.
That’s what this book was for me. A rush of all of those feelings and memories personified in Georgina and her life. I connected with Georgina so much, she is vulnerable, flawed, strong, and so undeniably lovable, I think she will resonate with so many readers. In the book, Georgina doesn’t just struggle in relationships, she has some tough times with her family as well.
A lot of things that have happened in her life left her a bit broken, feeling like a failure, and unsure about what to do when she didn’t live up to the standards that she felt should be met by thirty. But she also is so resilient and keeps going through times that are tough. And they are TOUGH. But Georgina is someone who also presents herself candidly as just who she is. And that is something I findboth inspiring and relatable.
The love story in this book doesn’t come easy, which makes the outcome so moving that it felt like it happened to me! Georgina is a character who has a place in my heart, and whom I won’t soon forget. Read this book. I was captivated by every moment!

About the Author
Mhairi was born in Falkirk, Scotland in 1976. She went to school in Nottingham, studied English Literature at Manchester University and then returned to Nottingham to delight its citizens with her journalism. After roles as trainee reporter, reporter, feature writer and columnist, she realised she’d climbed to the very top of the mountain at the Nottingham Post and at age 31 decided to write a novel. Some very skint years followed, during which she thought she might’ve made a huge mistake.
Her debut novel, the romantic comedy You Had Me At Hello, was an instant hit upon being published in December 2012. It’s since become HarperCollins’ best selling ebook to date, has been translated into 16 languages and is being developed as a major feature film, with Mhairi writing the screenplay. The follow up, Here’s Looking At You, was published in December 2013 and made the Sunday Times Bestseller list.
Mhairi’s first hardback title for HarperFiction, It’s Not Me, It’s You, is published on November 6th 2014.
She’s currently working on her fourth novel, adapting You Had Me At Hello for screen and developing a comedy-drama script for television.

Nothing is impossible if truly you believe you can achieve it. I’ve been attempting to expand my wine business in my hometown in White Plains. For the past 7 years, I do play the lottery in my spare time, but on this blessed day I came across an article about Lord Meduza’s spell to win the lottery. I contacted Lord Meduza to see if it would work and after I agreed to his terms and conditions for completing the task for me, he performed his magical powers for me and within 48 hours, he provided me with the numbers I needed to play the lottery, and I followed his directions. I found out at the store that I was the winner of a $105 million jackpot. For a moment I felt uncertain but I looked again and I saw it was real. As I speak to you, My level has been elevated from grass to grace and I’ve come to know that life is more spiritual and with the Lord Meduza spell, you can actually win the lottery. Lord Meduza contacts are listed as follows;.

Hello I was searching for a loan to sort out my bills & debts, then I saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Cards that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you I doubted this but decided to give it a try by contacting {jm0525180@gmail.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw €10,000 instant per day & was credited with € 800,000 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shocked to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel {card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work after the agent left. This is no doubt because I have the card & have made use of the card. These hackers are Germany USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!

Telling lies to someone who is being real with you will come back and hunt you, you can not eat your cake and still have it, it is either you stay real who is being real with you or you loose the person for not being real back, my spouse lied to me, cheated on me and she made it look like i was the fault of the marriage but the signs were clear i was the one fighting for the marriage, coming across Macquiod and his team via macprivateinvestigators@gmail.com through the help of my brother and they exposed all her activities, she begged but it was too late the damage was already done, now i live with a clear and focused mind.
Dexter Berger
Praise be to the incredible Lord Meduza, I’ve never seen or heard of his lottery spell failing, not even once, and that includes my own experience. Every day, I feel renewed blessings after connecting with the Great Lord Meduza who gifted me my winning six-digit lottery numbers that won me $740,000,000 million dollars by using his magical skills to foresee the outcome. I’m a dad of four, and it’s been a few years since I lost my wife to cancer; I miss her terribly. To wrap things up, I really want to thank Great Meduza for being so good at what he does. His guidance and lessons were applied swiftly and precisely, leading us to the best possible result, which we definitely achieved. You can reach him by email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or check out his website at ( http://www.lordmeduzatemple.com ) for more information. May you stay blessed and know you’re in good hands with Lord Meduza.

Denzel Chau
When the Bible states we are gods of the earth, I felt this truth during my encounter with Lord Meduza, the spell master. I’m Denzel Chau and I’m here to present the individual who transformed my life from poverty to becoming a multimillionaire Jackpot victor. I reached out to Lord Meduza for assistance with winning numbers and he successfully helped me after casting a lottery spell for me. I utilized the numbers to enter the Jackpot lottery and I was announced as the winner of $368,000,000. Acquiring the numbers from Lord Meduza took 72 hours and I want to express my gratitude publicly to him for his remarkable service to humanity and for deciding to assist me during my life’s lowest moment. Not everyone is meant to win the lottery, but with the assistance of Lord Meduza, you can achieve it.

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery and he clarified the process to me stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers which I accepted. I followed all his instruction and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza.
